I Got Flowers Today

It wasn't my birthday, or any other special day.
We had our first argument last night.
and he said a lot of cruel things.
That really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn't mean
the things he said
because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today...
It wasn't my birthday, or any other special day.
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.
It seemed like a nightmare.
I couldn't believe it was real.
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry, because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today...
It wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day.
Last night, he beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry, because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers, today.
Today was a very special day.
It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me.
He beat me to death.
If only, I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him.
I wouldn't have gotten flowers today.
